Gallery Oldham is further animated by a series of one-off events throughout the day from 2PM when Clean Rooms artists in residence Brandon Ballengee and Ruth Ben-Tovim present the results of their residencies.

Theatre director Ruth Ben-Tovim presents an interactive performance installation about the kinds of changes we might like to make to our anatomies.
